-Truth-

Not in the last 5 minutes.

Yes, sir. It won't cost you anything.

Oh, no issue there at all. If they have no bids, then please feel free to do so.

Invalid due to the following bid:

Official Trade: Seattle - Derrick Coleman (FB) Chicago - 6th (167) round selection

It's not, unfortunately. I just traded him. And yes, I feel that it would be fair for it to be deleted.

Just wanted to give you a heads up. That's the other Zach Miller. It should've stated it.

Invalid because of bid below:

Just giving you a heads up. It's against the rules to edit or delete bids, and the penalty is not being able to bid for the next 15 minutes after editing. You'll have to re-post your bids for them to count. And don't worry about their length. We'll have to ask berad to edit what your computer puts afterwards for you, but he should be alright with doing so.

Outside of Ed_Reed20's edit, which is almost certainly an honest mistake, the only other member to edit was BmoreBird22, who edited because he wasn't aware and because his computer creates enormous posts. In either case, there was no intent to bypass the system in order to render the bid invalid and gain money to spend on another player. Both are very much interested in their targets, the bids are invalid, and will have to be resubmitted. So their situations have absolutely no connection with the loophole we are attempting to prevent. Under Option #3, even with both being honest mistakes, neither member would've been allowed to bid for any other player and would've had their previous bids removed, which would've been very unfortunate.

Likewise. Appreciate the help. Then let's make it official: Every Darren Sproles bid in the FA thread is invalid. He will be available in the FFA.

We need to get a handle on the Darren Sproles situation. I outlined the issue and how it was handled in the past, if I'm not mistaken. What's the verdict?

You can, but you'll have to eat half of the salary.

If I remember correctly, once a player is cut after the bidding process has begun, the player is then sent to the FFA market. Otherwise, it's unfair to players who began bidding on RBs and didn't know he'd be available.

Darren Sproles though. I'm assuming he'll be available in the FFA?

Yes, sir. No question about it.

Ugh. Ginormous bids to drive up the value that will still be outbid in the future, ensuring a higher amount than could've been. I have missed you so much.

Official Trade: Seattle - Zach Miller (TE) Arizona - 6th (163) round selection & Rashad Johnson (S)

Definitely. Good point.

Oh, absolutely. You'll get no argument from me.

Good point. There's quite a bit of the quality ones out there.

I think Cary Williams was literally the only one not to be.

lol Agreed wholeheartedly on both accounts. Former Ravens, ones who performed well, are destined to earn more than otherwise expected.

You and me both.
